It would help if you showed us the formula you are trying to use and the
values you're using in the formula. We are very, very poor mind readers.

The usual cause of the #VALUE! error is that the cells are not numerical.

Assuming prices in column A.

In B1 enter =A1*.06 to get GST

In C1 enter =A1*.075 to get PST

If these produce the error then I would suggest that the numbers in column A are
really text.

Format all to Generl. Copy an empty cell.

Select column A and EditPaste SpecialAddOKEsc.

Any difference?
